How to get a list of invitations (services) - SuperOffice

The code below is used to retrieve a list of invitations for a specific associate with NetServer services.

Code

using SuperOffice;
using SuperOffice.CRM.ArchiveLists;

using(SoSession newSession = SoSession.Authenticate("sam", "sam"))
{
  //Create an instance of the InvitationProvider
  IArchiveProvider newInvPro = new InvitationProvider();

  //Set the order by rule for the Provider
  newInvPro.SetOrderBy(new ArchiveOrderByInfo("appointmentId", SuperOffice.Util.OrderBySortType.DESC));

  //Set the columns we want to retrive
  newInvPro.SetDesiredColumns("appointmentId", "date", "associate/contactFullName", "endDate" );

  //Set the page size
  newInvPro.SetPagingInfo(100, 0);

  //Add the restriction the provider should be based on
  newInvPro.SetRestriction(
    new ArchiveRestrictionInfo("associateId", "=", "5"),
    new ArchiveRestrictionInfo("date",">",DateTime.Today.ToString()));

  //Looping through the provider in order to get the results we are going out of the loop
  int rowNo = 1;
  foreach (ArchiveRow archiveRow in newInvPro.GetRows())
  {
    if (rowNo == 1)
    {
      foreach (KeyValuePair<string, ArchiveColumnData> column in archiveRow.ColumnData)
      {
        Console.Write(column.Key + "\t");
      }
      Console.WriteLine();
    }
    // extract and display the displayValue of each cell
    // (you need to parse culturally sensitive values such as dates to get the correct client display format)
    foreach (ArchiveColumnData archiveCell in archiveRow.ColumnData.Values)
    {
      Console.Write(archiveCell.DisplayValue + "\t");
    }
    Console.WriteLine();
    ++rowNo;
  }
}

Walk-through

In the code, we have used an instance of the InvitationProvider and some of its methods to restrict and arrange the output returned by the provider.

Method	Description
SetOrderBy	sorts the output by ID
SetPageInfo	limits the number of rows returned to the first 100 rows
SetDesiredColumns	is used to identify which columns should be returned by the provider
SetRestriction	sets the query restriction for the provider
GetRows	can be used to retrieve the rows returned by the provider

The provider returns a collection of ArchiveRow types. By looping through each ArchiveRow we can get details of an invitation for the associate. The result of executing the above code is shown below.

associate/contactFullName    date        endDate           appointmentId
StateZeroDatabase       [D:07/05/2007]    [D:07/05/2007]    [I:186]
StateZeroDatabase       [D:07/26/2007]    [D:07/26/2007]    [I:179]
StateZeroDatabase       [D:04/28/2007]    [D:04/28/2007]    [I:172]
StateZeroDatabase       [D:06/14/2007]    [D:06/14/2007]    [I:161]
StateZeroDatabase       [D:04/28/2007]    [D:04/28/2007]    [I:150]
